Widgets

Widgets
are the core components for the dashboard. Tabs provide the layout and widgets provide the actual
data for the dashboard.

Note:

Customizing the dashboard, tabs, or widgets for one user
account has no effect on the dashboard, tabs, or widgets for a different
user account. Each user account has a completely independent dashboard,
tabs, and widgets from every other user account.

Download the Control Manager widget pool (under
Product programs and widget pool on the Manual
Download and Scheduled Download screens)
periodically to check for new or updated widgets.

The data a widget displays comes from one of the following places:

Control Manager database

Trend Micro Smart Protection Network

Managed products added to the Dashboard Server Visibility list

Note:

Smart Feedback must be enabled to display data for widgets
that include data from Smart Protection Network.

The data a widget displays is controlled in two ways:

Table 1. Widget Data

Item

Details

User account

A user’s account grants or restricts access to any managed product registered to Control Manager.

Scope

The data scope on many widgets can be individually
configured.

This means a user can further specify the data
source location for the widget.

Example: An OfficeScan
administrator, who manages multiple OfficeScan servers, could create
one tab and add widgets that display data for only one OfficeScan
server.
